It’s around that time of year when the designers start to finalise kits for next season and, according to reports, United will have a mixture of classic and contemporary for their new jerseys.

In leaked pictures posted online, it has been suggested United will have a simple but bold, deep red home kit with a thick black collar, while their new away strip will be a return to the blue and black – but this time in a tartan effect.

Both designs have received fairly good feedback from fans, who already pay some of the highest prices for replica kit in Europe.

Still, with the £40million James Rodriguez and £20million Roberto Lewandowski both believed to be transfer targets this summer, United need all the cash they can get.
